Ace high on a ragged board in position

[TStoneMBD]

so what does raising accomplish against a weaker ace high hand?

I can get another bet out of him when he may have checked the river. Same with king high. At the time I thought his hand would be ace or king high a HUGE portion of the time.

unless you gain a bet on the turn when the opponent would have checkfolded a weaker hand on the river

i already said that


also note that if he checks the river with ace high he will probably call a bet. if you dont feel comfortable valuebetting ace high because you think youre beat then a turn raise doesnt make sense. the only purpose of a turn raise is for value, but the times you are 3bet by a better hand and call down overwhelm the value you get by ace high calling the turn raise.

if ace high calls the turn raise and checks the river, you can be sure he would checkcall the river if you didnt raise the turn.

therefore, raising the turn suxx0rs.

You're right.
